FOUNDATIONS AND FOOTERS

Foundation and footer installation are critical steps in the construction process, as they provide the necessary support and stability for the entire structure. It goes without saying that hiring a professional contractor is a must to ensure that the work is done correctly and safely.

Our Process

The process of foundation and footer installation involves several steps:


  1. Excavation: The site is excavated to the proper depth and size to accommodate the foundation and footers.
  2. Pouring the footers: The footers are poured into the excavated trenches and allowed to set.
  3. Forming the foundation: Forms are built around the perimeter of the foundation, and concrete is poured into the forms and allowed to set.
  4. Waterproofing: A waterproof membrane is installed to prevent water from penetrating the foundation and causing damage.
  5. Backfilling: Once the foundation has cured, the soil is backfilled around the foundation and compacted to provide additional stability.
